guys, i rode the rocket about 30 miles yesterday and late this afternoon noticed a small drip on the floor on the left side just below the radiator. i think i remember reading on this forum about some problem with the radiator cap or something.it run down and dripped off of the chrome on the left side. it is antifreeze based on the feel of it.any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!!!!!!

Well, it's getting warmer, it may just be a little drip from the overflow tank. There is a drain hose the runs down and it pees under there.

Now, if it's a lot of fluid, check it out, couple drops with temperatures increasing as spring sets in, perfectly normal.

..for me, it was a gentle snugging of the water pump bolts.

Check the o-ring at the water pump and all the hoses are snug. My 05 had a little leak at the o-ring, fixed under warranty.
